The NIH's “Revised Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from NIH-funded Research” became effective April 7, 2008. It requires all authors of NIH-funded research manuscripts to deposit copies into PubMed Central, a free digital archive that enhances the visibility of publicly-funded research of biomedical and life sciences literature. It is based at the NIH and was developed at the National Library of Medicine.
